Re: Dylan from FL got his Starband today...

[Guest guest]

Hi Carla...Now I am worried that my ds is not sleeping with his

Starband soon enough! The orthotics place where we got his helmet

gave us a week long break in routine to follow that doesn't have him

wearing it overnight until the 6th day. I'm not sure why the long

wait. It seems like I remember reading somewhere that the break-in

period for Starbands was a little longer than Docbands, but I'm not

sure. Anyway, if your son is taking it well and it is fitting ok, I

would not worry about it. I would think the sooner they are wearing it

the better. I'm a little concerned because I've got napping in

his and his naps have gotten shorter, I'm worried what will happen at

night.
